fear aggression
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have just adopted a mixed breed (Rottweiler Mastiff ?) dog from the pound. My wife has made great strides in getting through this fear aggression stage with her but I am having difficulty. Dog tends to growl at me and will snap on occassion. I am trying sweet talk and reinforcing poitive behavior and hand feeding her when I can get her to be calm and hang out with me. However it is giving my wife a stomach ache to see the dog behave so well with her but treat me poorly. Kathleen (wife) has been able to bathe the dog and basically has worked through the fear aggression. Now I have to. HELP please. The dog has been with us since Friday evening around 6:00 and this is about 1:00 on Sunday. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much. Have you had luck and if so How...Thanks
John
